About the author
Born in Hanley, Staffordshire, in 1867, Arnold Bennett grew up in the industrial pottery district that would later inspire some of his best-known fiction. After working in London, he turned fully to writing and became a remarkably prolific author, producing novels, stories, plays, criticism, and essays.
He is especially remembered for novels such as Anna of the Five Towns, The Old Wives' Tale, and Clayhanger, which helped define his rich picture of life in the "Five Towns," a version of the real Potteries. His work is known for its clear-eyed realism, strong sense of place, and interest in the ambitions, routines, and inner lives of ordinary people.
Bennett also wrote lively nonfiction, including the enduring self-help classic How to Live on 24 Hours a Day. He died in 1931, but his books still stand out for their energy, wit, and sympathy for the worlds they describe.
